Blue Bayou Water Park, Amusement park and water park in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Blue Bayou is a combined amusement and water park facility in Baton Rouge that brings together two distinct sections on a large property. The venue provides a variety of rides and water attractions spread across its grounds for different interests and age groups.

The site began operations in the 1960s as an amusement facility and later underwent reorganization to become the dual-section park it is today. These changes show how the venue evolved to meet changing visitor interests over the decades.

The park features attractions that celebrate Louisiana's regional heritage and local character through its ride names and design. Visitors experience entertainment that connects to the traditions and identity of the Baton Rouge community.

The park is situated on Perkins Road and operates seasonally, with full access during summer months when all sections are open. Plan your visit accordingly, as weather and seasonal schedules affect which activities and attractions are available.

The park features one of the world's longest inline water slides, offering visitors a distinctive high-speed descent experience unlike typical water park rides. This attraction stands out because of its special engineering and design that makes it notably different from standard slides.

Historic sites of Baton Rouge: art deco capitol, colonial plantations, Louisiana museums

Baton Rouge preserves its history through several sites that showcase Louisiana's development. The State Capitol building, an art deco structure from 1932, towers over downtown at 140 meters high and offers a view of the Mississippi River and its surroundings from its observation deck. Nearby, the Former Governor's Residence from 1850 exemplifies Southern colonial architecture with its white columns, while the Magnolia Mound Plantation, established in 1791, reconstructs the life of French cotton planters. The city’s museums document different aspects of regional history. The LSU Rural Life Museum houses artifacts and documents on Louisiana's farming techniques from the 18th to the 20th century. The USS Kidd, a World War II destroyer moored on the Mississippi, exhibits collections on American naval history. Louisiana State University's campus features the LSU Tiger Stadium, built in 1924 and capable of holding over 100,000 spectators. The city also has natural areas such as the Bluebonnet Marsh Nature Center with its 43 hectares of marsh accessible via trails, as well as a zoo with 800 animals across 200 species.
